Answer:
B. 30 percent
Explanation:
Based on the selling price, the markup percent is determined as the difference of the selling price and the cost. divided by the selling price.
Since 3 motorcycles were sold at $1,000 each, total sales are $3,000, and the markup percent is:
[tex]MU=\frac{sales-cost}{sales} *100\%\\MU=\frac{\$3,000- \$2,100}{\$3,000} *100\%\\MU=30\%[/tex]
B. 30 percent.
O’Dell Vegetables purchased a harvesting machine on July 1, 2016, for $984,000. The machine was estimated to have a useful life of 8 years with an estimated salvage value of $140,000. O’Dell uses the straight-line method of depreciation. During 2019, it became apparent that the machine would become uneconomical after December 31, 2023, and that the machine would have no scrap value. What should be the charge for depreciation in 2019 under generally accepted accounting principles?
Answer:
Depreciation expense in 2019 is $144,050
Explanation:
O’Dell Vegetables uses the straight-line method of depreciation, Depreciation Expense each year is calculated by following formula:
Depreciation Expense = (Cost of machine − Salvage Value )/Useful Life
From July 1, 2016 to 2018:
Annual Depreciation Expense = ($984,000 - $140,000)/8 = $105,500
Depreciation Expense in 2016 = $105,500x6/12 = $52,750
Accumulated Depreciation (end 2018) = $52,750 + $105,500 + $105,500 = $263,750
From 2019, the machine would become uneconomical after December 31, 2023:
Salvage Value = 0 and Remaining useful life = 5 year
Depreciation Expense = (Historical Cost - Accumulated Depreciation - Salvage Value) / Remaining Useful Life = ($984,000-$263,750-0)/5 = $144,050
Depreciation in 2019 is $144,050
A few questions in this problem set are based on the comments made by James Love to Congress regarding antitrust policy and the Petroleum industry. These are found at the end of the module on Antitrust Policy. Try to read the entire article carefully first... and then see if you can answer the questions (rather than fishing out the answer each time). Obviously you will go back and check to make sure you have it correct ... but to absorb the content it is best read it all first before going back. What is it about the petroleum industry that simultaneoulsy prevents entry and fosters joint ventures and other collaberations
Answer:
High fixed (and sunk) costs
Explanation:
Petroleum industry is marked by high fied and sunk cost as exploration of oil is an expensive business. The companies need to spend a lot of money on technology and machinery and even that does not guarantee success. Hence all these fied cost and sunk cost make the entry of new firm difficult.
A single individual has an adjusted gross income of $15,000, no tax-exempt interest, and Social Security benefits of $14,000. How much of this individual’s Social Security benefits is subject to income tax? $0. $7,500. $11,900. $15,500.
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
The social security Benefits are taxable only if the MAGI and half of the Adjusted Gross Income exceeds $25,000, in case of a single individual.
Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) includes all the wages, interest or any other taxable income. Also the tax exempt interest income is also included in such income.
Thus, MAGI here = $15,000
Further one half of the Social Security Benefits = $14,000/2 = $7,000
Jointly MAGI + One half of Social Security Benefits = $15,000 + $7,000 = $22,000
Since it is below $25,000, no social security benefit shall be taxable in the hands of individual.
Vaughn Manufacturing had average operating assets of $5000000 and sales of $2500000 in 2016. If the controllable margin was $450000, the ROI was
50%
41%
9%
18%
Answer:
9%
Explanation:
The Return on Investment (ROI) is used to directly measure the amount of return, relative to the cost of the investment. It can be calculated by dividing the controllable margin by the company's average operating assets.
[tex]ROI = \frac{\$450000}{\$5000000} \\ROI =0.09[/tex]
Therefore, the return on investment for Vaughn Manufacturing was 0.09 or 9%.
Windhoek Mines, Ltd., of Namibia, is contemplating the purchase of equipment to exploit a mineral deposit on land to which the company has mineral rights. An engineering and cost analysis has been made, and it is expected that the following cash flows would be associated with opening and operating a mine in the area: Cost of new equipment and timbers $ 490,000 Working capital required $ 175,000 Annual net cash receipts $ 190,000 * Cost to construct new roads in year three $ 55,000 Salvage value of equipment in four years $ 80,000 *Receipts from sales of ore, less out-of-pocket costs for salaries, utilities, insurance, and so forth. The mineral deposit would be exhausted after four years of mining. At that point, the working capital would be released for reinvestment elsewhere. The company’s required rate of return is 19%. a. Determine the net present value of the proposed mining project.
Answer:
Windhoek is located at 22 S, 17 E
.........
Explanation:
The net present value (NPV) of the proposed mining project is approximately $15,908.70.
Explanation:To calculate the net present value (NPV) of the mining project, we need to calculate the present value of each cash flow and then subtract the initial investment cost. The formula for NPV is: NPV = (CF1 / (1 + r)1) + (CF2 / (1 + r)2) + ... + (CFn / (1 + r)n) - Initial Investment
In this case, the cash flows are the annual net cash receipts, the cost to construct new roads in year three, and the salvage value of the equipment in four years. The initial investment includes the cost of new equipment and working capital required. The discount rate or required rate of return is 19%.
By plugging in the numbers into the formula and performing the calculations, we find that the NPV of the proposed mining project is approximately $15,908.70.

The Princeville Company placed five (5) orders for Product 12B from Brookston Corporation. Brookston has the following information about Product 12B: Activity Cost Pools Activity Rate Product 12B Activity Machine Setups $ 12.00 per Machine hour 40 MHs Customer Orders $ 10.00 per Order 5 Orders What is the overhead cost assigned to Princeville for their five (5) orders of Product 12B?
A. $480
B. $530
C. $2,650
D. $990
Answer:
B. $530
Explanation:
Please see attachment
Final answer:
The total overhead cost for Princeville's five orders of Product 12B is calculated by adding the costs of Machine Setups and Customer Orders, which amounts to $530. This is found by multiplying activity rates with the respective activities required and then summing them up. The correct option is b.
Explanation:
The overhead cost assigned to Princeville for their five (5) orders of Product 12B from Brookston Corporation can be calculated using the information about activity cost pools and activity rates. We have two types of costs to consider: Machine Setups and Customer Orders.
Machine Setups cost is $12.00 per machine hour, and for Product 12B, 40 machine hours (MHs) are required. Therefore, the total Machine Setups cost is 40 MHs times $12.00/MH, which equals $480.
Customer Orders cost is $10.00 per order, and since there were 5 orders, the total cost for this activity is 5 orders times $10.00/order, which equals $50.
Add the two costs together to get the total overhead cost for Princeville: $480 (Machine Setups) + $50 (Customer Orders) = $530.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. $530.

If the expected proportionate change in the nominal exchange rate, measured in units of domestic currency per unit of foreign currency, is 2 % and the domestic interest rate is 6 %, then according to the uncovered interest parity condition, the foreign interest rate should be equal to:
Select one:
a. 6 % - 2 % = 4 %
b. 6 % + 2 % = 8 %
c. 6 % ÷ 2 % = 3 %
d. 6 % x 2 % = 12 %
Answer:
a. 6 % - 2 % = 4 %
Explanation:
Uncovered interest parity condition is that expected change in nominal interest rate equals difference between the interest rates.
domestic interest rate - foreign interest rate = expected change in nominal interest rate .
6 percent - foreign interest rate = 2 percent
So, foreign interest rate = 6 percent - 2 percent = 4 percent

Renata McCarter, an outside sales representative for Alinda Publications, receives 7 percent commission on all new magazine subscriptions she sells in her sales territory. During the week of March 27, she sold $6,500 of new subscriptions and worked 40 hours.
Required:
What is her gross pay?
Is she subject to minimum wage laws?
Answer:
Gross pay - $455
No
Explanation:
The computation of the gross pay is shown below:
= New subscription sold × commission percentage
= $6,500 × 7%
= $455
Since Renata McCarter is an outside sales representative so she is exempt from the minimum wage laws. Hence, not taxable.
For computing the gross pay, we simply multiply the new subscription sold with the commission percentage so that the accurate amount can come.
On January 1, 2018, Purdy Company enters into a contract to transfer Blue and Rain to Georgia Co. for $300,000. The contract specifies that payment for Blue will not occur until Rain is also delivered. In other words, payment will not occur until both Blue and Rain are transferred to Georgia. Purdy determines that standalone prices are $110,000 for Blue and $190,000 for Rain. Purdy delivers Blue to Georgia on February 10, 2018. On March 15, 2018, Purdy delivers Rain to Georgia. Purdy should record...(a)Accounts Receivable of $300,000 on January 1.(b)Accounts Receivable of $110,000 on February 10.(c)Contract Asset of $110,000 on February 10.(d)Contract Asset of $110,000 on January 1.
Purdy recognizes revenue under IFRS 15 upon transferring control of Blue to Georgia, creating a Contract Asset of $110,000 on February 10. Revenue for Rain will be recognized upon delivery. Here option C is correct.
The revenue recognition principle under IFRS 15 requires revenue to be recognized when control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer. In this case, Purdy Company enters into a contract to transfer both Blue and Rain to Georgia Co. for $300,000, but payment for Blue will not occur until Rain is also delivered.
On February 10, 2018, Purdy delivers Blue to Georgia. Since Blue has been transferred, Purdy should recognize revenue for Blue, which has a standalone price of $110,000. However, payment has not yet occurred, and Rain is still pending delivery.
Therefore, Purdy should recognize a Contract Asset of $110,000 on February 10, reflecting the portion of the contract price attributable to the transferred goods (Blue) for which payment is still pending. The remaining portion related to Rain will be recognized when Rain is delivered. Here option C is correct.

A firm that has total fixed costs of $20,000 sells its output for $150 per unit and has an average variable cost of $200. If the firm's cost and revenue curves are linear, how much output must the firm produce to break even?
(A) The firm cannot break even.
(B) 300
(C) 500
(D) 400
Answer:
A) the firm cannot breakeven.
Explanation:
Break even point is the point where the company make neither a loss nor profit (i.e. a point where profit is zero).
Break even is computed as Totatl fixed cost/Contribution Margin (ratio).
Contribution margin can be calculated as Sales - Variable Cost (Note that this can be calculated per unit or in total).
In this scenario, the contribution per unit = $150-$200 = -$50 (This means that on every one unit, the company is making a loss contribution margin.
And since the revenue and cost curve is linear (i.e. on a straight line) the loss contribution will continously be made. Hence the company can never break even.
A bakery sells 6 different varieties of cupcakes (chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, etc.). How many ways are there to fill a box with 24 cupcakes from the 6 varieties? The order in which the cupcakes are selected is unimportant; all that matters is the number of each variety in the box after they are chosen.
Answer:
118755
Explanation:
Here let x1, x2, x3……, x6 are number of cupcakes from each variety;
Therefore x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6 =24
Since the order in which the cupcakes are selected is unimportant we have the following;
Number of non-negative solution of above equation =24+6-1C6-1 =29C5 =118755
Therefore the correct answer is 118755
Henry Crouch's law office has traditionally ordered ink refills 70 units at a time. The firm estimates that carrying cost is 40% of the $11 unit cost and that annual demand is about 245 units per year. The assumptions of the basic EOQ model are thought to apply. For what value of ordering cost would its action be optimal? a) For what value of ordering cost would its action be optimal? Its action would be optimal given an ordering cost of $ nothing per order (round your response to two decimal places). b) If the true ordering cost turns out to be much less than your answer to part (a), what is the impact on the firm's ordering policy?
The EOQ model is used to find the optimal order quantity that minimizes total inventory costs. By substituting the known values into the EOQ equation, we can find the optimal ordering cost. If the actual ordering cost is less, the firm should order frequently in smaller quantities to lessen total inventory costs.
Explanation:The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model can be used to determine the optimal order quantity that minimizes total inventory costs. The EOQ formula is: EOQ = √((2DS)/H) where D is the demand rate, S is the ordering cost (optimal value that we need to find), and H is the annual holding and storage cost per unit.
In your case, D = 245 units, H = $4.4 (40% of the $11 unit cost). Substituting the known values into the equation, we get: 70 = √((2*245*S)/4.4). By solving for S, we find the optimal ordering cost that makes ordering 70 units at a time the best strategy.
If the actual ordering cost is less than this calculated optimal cost, the firm can benefit from ordering more frequently in smaller quantities. It will reduce total inventory costs because lesser capital will be tied up in inventory, reducing holding costs.

The EOQ model suggests an optimal order size for minimizing inventory costs considering the ordering cost, demand rate and holding costs. If the cost of placing orders is significantly lower than estimated, the firm could adjust its ordering policy to order more frequently in smaller batches to reduce carrying costs.
Explanation:The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model can be helpful in determining the volume and frequency of orders a firm should make to minimize its inventory costs. The model dictates that the optimal order size, given the assumptions of constant demand, constant lead time and no stockouts, will result in the lowest total inventory cost.
The EOQ is calculated as Square Root of (2DS/H) where:
D represents demand in units (given as 245 units per year)S is the setup costs or ordering costs (unknown in this scenario)H is the holding costs per unit, per year (calculated as 40% of the $11 unit cost)The firm traditionally orders 70 units. If this is indeed the optimal order size, the ordering cost, S, can be found by rearranging the EOQ formula to solve for S and substituting the provided values into the formula.
If the true ordering cost turns out to be much less than estimated, the firm may find it optimal to order in smaller, more frequent batches to minimize holding costs. The lower ordering costs would mean frequent orders would not be as costly, and thus, the firm might keep less stock on hand at any given time, reducing their carrying costs.

A manager receives a forecast for next year. Demand is projected to be 590 units for the first half of the year and 940 units for the second half. The monthly holding cost is $2 per unit, and it costs an estimated $55 to process an order.
a. Assuming that monthly demand will be level during each of the six-month periods covered by the forecast (e.g., 100 per month for each of the first six months), determine an order size that will minimize the sum of ordering and carrying costs for each of the six-month periods. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
74 units; 93 units
Explanation:
Given that,
Holding cost, H = $2 per unit
Carrying cost, O = $55
Demand in first half, D1 = 590 units
= 590 ÷ 6
= 98.33 per month
Demand in second half, D2 = 940 units
= 940 ÷ 6
= 156.67 per month
For D1; EOQ:
[tex]EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times D\times O}{H} }[/tex]
[tex]EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 98.33\times 55}{2} }[/tex]
= 73.54 or 74 units
For D2; EOQ:
[tex]EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times D\times O}{H} }[/tex]
[tex]EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 156.67\times 55}{2} }[/tex]
= 92.82 or 93 units
Hence, the appropriate order size will be 74 units and 93 units.
On January 1, 2016, Martini, Inc. acquired a machine for $1,030,000. The estimated useful life of the asset is five years. Residual value at the end of five years is estimated to be $87,000. What is the book value of the machine at the end of 2017 if the company uses the straight-line method of depreciation?
Answer: $652,800
Explanation:
Straight Line Depreciation per year = (Cost – Residual Value) / Useful Life
Straight Line Depreciation per year = ($1,030,000 - $87,000) / 5
Straight Line Depreciation per year = $188,600
Accumulated Depreciation at the end of 2017 = Depreciation per year * No. of years used
Accumulated Depreciation at the end of 2017 = $188,600 * 2
Accumulated Depreciation at the end of 2017 = $377,200
Book Value at the end of 2017 = Cost – Accumulated Depreciation at the end of 2017
Book Value at the end of 2017 = $1,030,000 - $377,200
Book Value at the end of 2017 = $652,800
Final answer:
The book value of the machine at the end of 2017, using the straight-line method of depreciation, is calculated to be $652,800 after taking into account the total depreciation over two years.
Explanation:
The question asks for the book value of a machine at the end of 2017 if the company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. The initial cost of the machine is $1,030,000, with an estimated residual value of $87,000 at the end of its five-year useful life. To calculate depreciation using the straight-line method, subtract the residual value from the cost and then divide by the useful life. So, depreciation per year = ($1,030,000 - $87,000) / 5 = $188,600. By the end of 2017, which is two years from the acquisition date, the total depreciation would be $188,600 * 2 = $377,200. The book value of the machine at the end of 2017 is then the cost minus the accumulated depreciation, which equals $1,030,000 - $377,200 = $652,800.

Wilson Co. produces sports equipment and is currently producing 2,000 tennis rackets annually. A supplier has offered to produce the rackets for Wilson Co. for $370 per racket. Wilson incurs unit-level costs of $360 per unit. Wilson also spends $10,000 on product design each year and incurs $100,000 of facility-level costs. Based on your quantitative analysis, should Wilson Co. outsource the rackets? What is the effect on profit?
Answer:
Yes, Wilson Company shall outsource the rackets.
Effect on profit is that the profit will increase by the net cost avoided = $830,000 - $740,000 = $90,000
Explanation:
As for the information provided:
We will do a comparative analysis, of current situation and that of the offer given by supplier.
Total current cost in case of manufacturing:
Cost of production = $360 [tex]\times[/tex] 2,000 = $720,000
Cost of product design = $10,000
Facility level cost = $100,000
These all cost are avoidable in case of buying from supplier. Thus, total avoidable cost = $830,000
Total cost associated in case of buying the sports equipment from supplier shall be: $370 [tex]\times[/tex] 2,000 = $740,000
Since, the cost in case of buying is less, the tennis rackets shall be bought from supplier.

13. Jensen and Associates has a projected balance sheet that includes the following accounts. What is the projected marketable securities balance? Cash $ 225,000 Marketable securities ? Accounts receivable 680,000 Inventory 940,000 Non-current assets, net 1,420,000 Current liabilities 375,000 Total liabilities 1,060,000 Total equity 2,985,000
Answer:
$780,000
Explanation:
In the balance sheet, the assets, liabilities, and stockholder equity is recorded. In this the accounting equation is used which is shown below:
Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity
= $1,060,000 + $2,985,000
= $4,045,000
And, the total assets would equal to
Total assets = Cash + Marketable securities +Accounts receivable + Inventory + Non-current assets, net
$4,045,000 = $3,265,000 + Marketable securities
So, the marketable securities would be
= $4,045,000 - $3,265,000
= $780,000
Colt Company owns a machine that can produce two specialized products. Production time for Product TLX is three units per hour and for Product MTV is four units per hour. The machine’s capacity is 2,100 hours per year. Both products are sold to a single customer who has agreed to buy all of the company’s output up to a maximum of 3,570 units of Product TLX and 4,000 units of Product MTV. Selling prices and variable costs per unit to produce the products follow. $s per unit Product TLX Product MTV Selling price per unit $ 12.50 $ 7.50 Variable costs per unit 3.75 4.50 Determine the company's most profitable sales mix and the contribution margin that results from that sales mix. (Round cost per unit answers to 2 decimal places.)
The sales mix that the corporation finds to be the most lucrative has a contribution margin of $13,412.5. Understanding profit margin, which is calculated as the product's profit divided by the sale price, is the key to understanding the sales mix. In order to understand your sales mix, you can then compare the profit margins of various goods.
Given
Maximum units of Product TLX = 3,570 units
Maximum units of Product MTV = 4,000 units
Machine capacity = 2,100 hours per year
Production time for Product TLX = 3 units per hour
Production time for Product MTV = 4 units per hour

Final answer:
The most profitable sales mix for Colt Company involves prioritizing the production of Product TLX, which has a higher contribution margin ($8.75 per unit) than Product MTV ($3.00 per unit), up to the customer's maximum purchase quantity followed by producing Product MTV with any remaining capacity.
Explanation:
Most Profitable Sales Mix and Contribution Margin Calculation
To determine the most profitable sales mix for Colt Company, we need to compare the contribution margins of Product TLX and Product MTV. The contribution margin per unit is calculated by subtracting the variable cost per unit from the selling price per unit. For Product TLX, the contribution margin is $12.50 - $3.75 = $8.75 per unit. For Product MTV, the contribution margin is $7.50 - $4.50 = $3.00 per unit.
Given that the machine has a capacity of 2,100 hours per year, we can calculate the maximum production for both products while respecting the customer's maximum purchase quantities. For Product TLX: 2,100 hours/year * 3 units/hour = 6,300 units. For Product MTV: 2,100 hours/year * 4 units/hour = 8,400 units.
To maximize profits, Colt Company should prioritize production of the product with the higher contribution margin, which is Product TLX. However, the customer will only buy up to 3,570 units of Product TLX. Once this quantity is reached, the company should use the remaining machine capacity to produce Product MTV. We can calculate the total contribution margin by multiplying the units sold by their respective contribution margins and adding them together. This yields the most profitable sales mix while respecting the customer's limits and machine capacity.
The exact numbers for the most profitable mix and resulted contribution margin will vary based on how many hours are allocated to each product's production, with the guiding principle being to utilize all available hours while respecting the demand ceiling for both products.
This question compares the effects of a tax cut on aggregate demand and aggregate supply. A tax cut of 150 is targeted to business enterprises so that, as their after-tax profits rise, they raise their spending on investment goods by the full 150. When subsequent rounds of increases in income occur, however, there is a normal marginal propensity to consume, and a multiplier of two. Investment has the following effect on aggregate supply: for every $3 of investment goods produced, annual output rises by $1.a) What increase in aggregate demand will result from this tax cut?b) What increase in aggregate supply will occur in the first year?c) Comparing your answers in a) and b), which impact is bigger?d) Assuming the tax reduction is permanent, how many years will it take before the effects on aggregate demand and aggregate supply are equal?e) Suppose the tax cut is not quite as well targeted toward the supply side as the government hoped. Of the cut of 150, initially 60 is spent on investment, 60 is spent on consumption, and 30 is saved. Answer questions a) through d) above under these circumstances.
Answer:
Check the following explanation.
Explanation:
Ans a - Aggregate demand will increase by $150.
Ans b - Aggregate supply will increase by $50 in the first year.
Ans c - The aggregate demand impact is bigger.
Ans d - If the tax reduction is permanent then the aggregate demand and aggregate supply will be equal in 3 years.
Ans e - The aggregate demand increases by 120. The aggregate supply increases by 20. The aggregate demand impact is bigger. If the tax reduction is permanent then the aggregate demand and aggregate supply will be equal in 6 years.
